start off with 26-11=15. everyone has to have less than 11 dollars. what two numbers can go into 15, but one has to be twice as much?
wouldn't you have to add them both wait no because greg has the most money so you would subtract both of them and thats your answer no?
William has $X.
Jan has $2x.
Greg has $11.
X + 2x + 11 = 26.
3x = 26 - 11 = 15,
X = 5.
2x = 2*5 = $10.
Jan has $2x.
Greg has $11.
X + 2x + 11 = 26.
3x = 26 - 11 = 15,
X = 5.
2x = 2*5 = $10.
